US EditionVanderbilt’s Diego Pavia Calls on President Trump to Expand College Football Playoff with Executive Order
Diego Pavia, a Heisman contender, urged President Trump to expand the College Football Playoff to 16 teams after Vanderbilt was ranked 14th and excluded from the current 12-team bracket.
- Shortly after midnight on Wednesday, Dec. 3, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia tagged President Donald Trump on X, posting `MAKE THE EXECUTIVE ORDER PLEASE` to expand the College Football Playoff from 12 to 16 teams.
- Despite a program-best 10-2 season, Vanderbilt failed to break into the 12-team field as the Commodores were listed at No. 14 after a 45-24 road win over Tennessee.
- Pavia's season statistics underscore his appeal, with 3,192 passing yards and 27 touchdowns as he cited a 16-team playoff plan allocating four SEC and four Big Ten berths.
- Trump has not replied as of Wednesday afternoon, and the CFP field will be finalized after Championship Weekend, leaving Vanderbilt reliant on losses and committee changes to reach the playoff.
- Discussions about CFP expansion already exist, with the SEC supporting a 16-team model and the Big Ten proposing a 12-team format, while commentators see presidential action as unlikely.
